The LiDAR x4 + RGB cameras all use an Ethernet switch connected to the Jetson AGX Orign's Ethernet port. What precautions should I take?

Hi everyone:

My current system uses a Jetson AGX Orin 64GB, and I have four LiDAR sensors connected to the Jetson AGX Orin 64GB via an Ethernet switch. My question is, if I add an RGB camera via Ethernet, meaning all my sensors are connected to the Jetson AGX Orin 64GB via an Ethernet switch,

what precautions should I take?

hello sy.chen,

firstly, you may ensure that your Ethernet switch can handle the combined data throughput of all sensors.
secondly, it should be a PoE switch, since the Jetson AGX Orin has limited power supply, and adding more devices to the network may increase the overall power consumption.
lastly, they’re packets (Ethernet frames) since they’re devices through Ethernet switch, you should handling them by yourself, we don’t have reference examples.
